Publisher's summary

The 7 Deadly Sins series that inspired four Lifetime original movies continues with this binge-worthy novel following mortgage broker Journee Alexander as she tries to escape the secrets of her past without losing all she has worked to build in the present.

Journee Alexander grew up believing that the only person she could depend on was herself. After being abandoned by her mother, burning bridges with friends, and narrowly escaping bad business dealings with her first mentor, her trust is hard to earn and harder to keep. But she has overcome all of that and now, as a successful mortgage broker at the top of her game in Houston’s booming real estate market, she has every reason to be proud of her accomplishments. She achieved this massive success on her own—there’s no need to put her trust in anyone else.

But when Journee starts receiving cryptic text messages from an unknown number threatening to destroy everything she has worked to build, she is out of her depth for the first time. Forced to consider accepting help from someone, Journee turns to the first man she loved, the one who got away. But old habits are hard to break and after trusting only her own instincts for so long, can she put her pride aside and accept advice from an old flame? Or should she put her trust in a brand-new love who is in sync with all that she wants to do?

Journee is forced to confront the secrets of her past, the old hurts that never seem to heal, and the fact that sometimes a meteoric rise is just the first step in a devastating fall that will change her life forever.

Pride comes before the fall

This Journee took me on a journey. I was so frustrated by the main character and her decision making. She reminded me of too many people I know. I loved the complicated relationships. As always, VCM put together a story full of real life characters that make you yell at them life family.

Good

Overall good book. Can’t wait for the next one in the series.
Pride comes before the fall.

Clueless

Thank you for writing Pride, it gave me an escape for a few days. But it kills me how the main character could be so naïve.

Easy listen

I enjoyed this book and the narrator. There's lessons all throughout the book. Good book.

Wow. Just wow

I didn’t want it to end. What a ride! Ready for more from Victoria!! I love the biblical lesson.

Riveting Storytelling

Pride masterfully chronicles the Journey of Journee Alexander to the realization that a space filled with pride can prevent love from entering.

Overall great book!!!

The main character did annoy the mess out of me with her defiance and pride even up to the very end of the book.
Kind of glad that the ending wasn’t your typical one but would have loved some retribution for other characters.
Pride does come before the fall!!!

Pride???Not really..

This novel really wasn’t about Pride (just my thought). Revenge, Greed,Anger perhaps but it was not a story of pride. Don’t get me wrong. It was a good read.
